KRIPACHARYA : THE IMMORTAL TEACHER
Kripa, also known as Kripacharya, holds a significant place in Hindu history. In the epic Mahabharata, he served as a council member of the Kuru Kingdom and taught the Pandava and Kaurava princes. Born uniquely to warrior-sage Sharadvan and nymph Janapadi, Kripa and his sister Kripi were adopted by King Shantanu of the Kuru Kingdom. Trained in archery by his birth father, Kripa became a skilled archer himself. He participated in the Kurukshetra war on the Kaurava side against the Pandavas and survived the battle. Kripa is regarded as a Chiranjivi, an immortal being destined to live until the end of the Kali Yuga, the final age. Some texts also suggest that he will become one of the revered seven sages (Saptarishi) in the next Manvantara, a cyclic period in Hindu cosmology.
